Bootstrap Dual Listbox

Bootstrap Dual Listbox is a responsive dual listbox widget optimized for Twitter Bootstrap. It works on all modern browsers and on touch devices.

Example with default values

The dual listbox is created from a select multiple by calling .bootstrapDualListbox(settings); on a selector. The selector can be any element, not just selects. When the method is called on a selector other than a select, then all select childrens are converted into dual list boxes.

Dynamically add options to the selects

The options must be added to/removed from the original select.
Note that the bootstrapduallistbox.refresh event must be triggered on it after manipulating the options.

If there are some highlighted options in the lists, then triggering the bootstrapduallistbox.refresh event with the optional true parameter results the highlights to be removed. Example usage: demo2.trigger('bootstrapduallistbox.refresh', true)
It has meaning only when moveonselect setting is false.

Settings

false: Selections are cleared on move. This is the forced setting on Android because of a bug.

'moved': Selection is cleared in the list where the options are moved to, and the moved options are selected after move.

'all': Selection is preserved between the lists, so the previously selected options are selected even after moving them or other options into their list.

moveonselect

true: The options are automatically moved on selection. This setting is forced on touch devices.

false: The selected options can be moved with a button.

initialfilterfrom

'': This is the initial value of the filter for the unselected values (left side). Default is empty string.

initialfilterto

'': This is the initial value of the filter for the selected values (on the right). Default is empty string.

helperselectnamepostfix

'_helper': when set, the helper selects are submitted with the original selects name postfixed with this value.

false: the helper selects are not submitted.

'Empty list': this is the info text when the list is empty.

selectorminimalheight

100: this is the minimal height of the rendered selects in pixels (normally they inherit the original selects height, but this is 0 in a modal when duallistbox is initialized, so this will be the height in such cases).
